is shown. In prices most articles there is
strong steady tone. Take provisions there
is good demand at the present firm prices,
and slight concessions would largely increase the de
mand, but holders of hog products confident that
by holding better prices will be realized. Grocers
have been busy most of the time The range of prices
has changed but little this week. Sugars are frmer
but higher than at the opening of the week while
cofees roasted grades Il of cent lower than
